Republican pushes to overturn Ohio election result
North Dakota Republican Brandon Prichard said the Ohio abortion vote shows why "direct democracy should not exist."
If you can’t win, cheat. - GOP philosophy
if that doesn't work. whine and cry like little babies, then cheat some more.
Liberals are the eldest children of politics. They get all the praise and attention, mainly for doing what their parents say.
Conservatives are the babies of politics. They get what they want by being insufferably annoying.
Progressives are the middle children. They're supposed to go along with everything and not complain that their siblings get all the attention.
Prichard, who has previously called on conservative states to "put into code that Jesus Christ is King and dedicate their state to Him,"
That's all you really need to know right there. Just another Christian Nationalist fuckhead trying to rally the
heardherd* of angry rubes.I think you mean "herd"
Apparently I too am a rube when it comes to spelling first thing in the morning 🌄 🙃 😅
More a supremacist than a nationalist at this point

A Republican state representative in North Dakota has urged authorities in Ohio to "ignore the results" of Tuesday's election
So it's an idiot from some other State trying to tell Ohio what and what not to do. Gotcha.
They did that in South Dakota when they voted to legalize recreational Marijuana. The governor used a single-subject technicality and anti-mariuana geriatric judges agreed. Then two years and millions of dollars in smear campaigns later they had a rematch that soundly defeated recreational use when it was voted on again.
Rep. Brandon Prichard (R-ND)
Direct democracy should not exist. Case-in-point: Ohio legalizing the slaughter of babies. It would be an act of courage to ignore the results of the election and not allow for the murder of Ohio babies. We are probably 10 years away from this opinion being acceptable though.
So just to be clear, Republican Congressmen are saying that they have a 10 year plan to do away with democracy?
The use of the word "allow" here betrays his real belief, that he thinks he is in a position of power to rule over his constituents and decide for them what they are allowed or not allowed to do.
We'll be back to "pro-life" extremists murdering doctors and patients... to save lives of course.
Democracy is when I vote and my accepted result happens.
And also when I allow a vote that I am able to “undo” when my preferred result does not happen.
I really hop you're trolling, because you're letting out some pretty crucial parts here.
Democracy is also when you vote and your voted-for result doesn't happen. More than 40% of the state just had that experience.
Democracy isn't about you. Or me. It's about the majority.
Saying the quiet part out loud
But lets be honest, they've been doing that since 2016 and their cult is cheering for it
Cope and seethe, motherfucker
The fact that a party that has deified an adulterous, lecherous, lying, vulgar fraudster thinks it has any moral high ground on any subject is laughable
"Republican dislikes democracy" could be the title of almost any article about almost any Republican and it'd still be correct.
But only "When it goes against them"
Oh yay I’m going to be getting a lot of really gross and inaccurate billboards and YouTube ads.
Yeah I would not be surprised if they just re-ban marijuana. Abortion though, that’s not gonna succeed. It’s a constitutional amendment that won by over 10 points after a lot of underhanded attempts to kill it. If they succeed at this then they sever the final sliver of democracy in Ohio.
I watched the debate last night and half of those chucklefucks were like "I'M SO UPSET, WHY WOULD DEMOCRACY DO THIS, WE HAVE TO INTERVENE". Points to Christie (who, I believe, is trying to present himself as wide Biden) for actually sticking to his guns on the State's Rights rhetoric.
Of course, Christie is trying to be reasonable, so he has about a dollar's chance in a strip club of making it out of the primary.
So Widen?
Jokes on them, they already intervened. They just failed at it
Republicans are regressive on democracy and human rights.

Friends and neighbors, that's a call to violence.
Yeah and whos gonna stop him? It's not like he was doing something as horrible as condeming the Israelie slaughter of innocents, then maybe we could do something like hold a vote on how much we don't like him.
They don't want to govern, they want to rule.
"Responding to Tuesday's election outcomes, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, a GOP hardliner, urged anti-abortion campaigners to produce more graphic adverts to demonstrate that "abortion kills lives.""
I wonder how many she has had with her extra martial activities over the years? 🤔
So a republican in NORTH DAKOTA tweeted that OHIO should ignore the election? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't seem like the concerted push to overturn the election that I expected when reading that headline.
A democratically elected representative is saying that another group of elected representatives should ignore the results of an election and that doesn't strike you as concerning?
Fair point. But, I think the headline was a but sensationalized. Or, I'm just bad at reading, which is possible.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The poll was just one of a string of GOP reverses on Tuesday, which also saw Democrats take control of both chambers of the state legislature in Virginia and extend their majority on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, North Dakota State Representative Brandon Prichard argued Tuesday's Issue 1 vote in Ohio should be ignored.
Ohio has a Republican governor in Mike DeWine, with the GOP also controlling both chambers of the state legislature, though none of these have suggested they will flat out ignore Tuesday's election result.
Prichard was challenged by Liam Siegler, a writer who has been published by the conservative National Review, who said: "I don't like today's results either but we have a constitution for a reason."
Reacting to the news in a statement on Tuesday night, President Joe Biden said: "Ohioans and voters across the country rejected attempts by MAGA Republican elected officials to impose extreme abortion bans."
Responding to Tuesday's election outcomes, House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, a GOP hardliner, urged anti-abortion campaigners to produce more graphic adverts to demonstrate that "abortion kills lives."
The original article contains 597 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 69%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Starting to think that maybe these guys aren't too big on the whole "respecting elections" thing..
Maybe they're not on the up and up after all?
